The USO’s uniquely positioned to offer companies marketing tools to reach their target markets and a direct link to our mission of supporting service members and their families.

Employee Engagement Americans increasingly want to participate in causes that are important to them through their workplaces. These efforts can effectively engage your employees in a cause they value, while creating organic collaboration and teamwork among colleagues.

Corporate Foundations and Grants: If your corporate foundation is seeking to support service members and their families, connect with us to explore opportunities that meet your company or foundation’s needs.
Sponsorship and Events: Many of our corporate supporters sponsor a specific USO program or event that directly aligns with their corporate goals. For example USO2GO, which provides much-needed relief to troops serving in remote areas, and USO Transitions, which supports service members and their families as they transition back to civilian life. The USO also hosts several events throughout the year, including our annual USO Gala in Arlington VA., which provide unique opportunities for corporate partners.

Donate Goods and Services: Products or services from your company can make a tremendous difference to the USO. The USO does work with corporate partners on specific items based on need. Please contact us if your company is interested in donating goods or services to support our service members and their families. The USO is in particular need of non-perishable, healthy food items in bulk quantities.
